Customer Question

I accidentally hit the power...

I accidentally hit the power switch while cleaning the top panel of mine and turned off the power. I reached out and pushed the power with back on and it lit up for a second than went off again. Any answers to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for counting on us to help with your appliance problem. My name is ***** ***** I look forward to helping you! The compressor will have to rest for about 20-30 minutes to allow the pressures to equalize. If the power will still not come back on by now, unplug the appliance for at least 2 hours and see what happens when plugged back in. That will allow it to reset the electronics.
